American Red Cross New Hampshire Region continues to be thankful for those who have dedicated their lives to serving, or are currently serving the United States military with the Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign. This campaign gives citizens of New Hampshire and the United States an opportunity to thank those who have or are currently defending the United States by sending holiday cards to retired and active duty members in all United States military branches. Audience members at the Manchester Monarchs game versus the Worcester Sharks On Friday, November 23rd will be invited to fill out cards, which will then be collected by American Red Cross New Hampshire, the Manchester Monarchs and Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH).

The Red Cross is inviting the public to send messages of thanks and holiday cheer until December 7 by mailing stamped cards to:

Holiday Mail for Heroes P.O. Box 5456 Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

To ensure that cards are delivered in time for the holidays, they must be postmarked no later than December 7. Individuals are asked to refrain from sending “care packages,” monetary donations, or using glitter or any other kinds of inserts with the cards. More information and card requirements are at redcross.org/holidaymail.
